I agree with Kyrie and go slow, the insurance is the first thing and find an authentic appraiser. When people see this gun, they might throw some dollar amounts at you, but I would wait for sure and find out what it is really worth! I would sugguest not only Shattuck but perhaps somebody else like Bob Simpson! I would get two or three estimated and they will have to handle/see the gun to give you an acurate appraisal. These specialty guns must be authenticated as being real and not someones fake up! Just the few pics I have seen indicate on first examination the real deal! WOW, this Beauty could be worth some high dollars. It's importance to history is of paramount importance to Luger Collectors and it must be preserved! Thor
